According to Honda, Godzilla is "War Incarnate", and is, itself, a victim of "The Bomb" — it is not The Bomb. Honda reinforced this by saying that Godzilla's skin shows the keloid scars of atomic exposure, just like the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Yes, that's something else I quite liked about the movie. It dispelled the rumors that the American version (in it's attempt to downplay the A-Bomb) set into motion through it's jumbled message. It was very clear to me in Gojira that the creature was, itself, a victim. The film wasn't blaming America as much as it was blaming War in general and power-mongers.
